As I mentioned previously, A Full Cup is one of my new resources in The Drugstore Game. While reading posts there, I happened upon this thread, which reports that the following items that people normally throw out actually sell on eBay:
- Egg cartons (50 egg cartons sold for $14.65 plus $10.85 shipping)
- Baby food jars (25 empty jars with lids sold for $6.50 plus $9.80 shipping)
- Jars of buttons (Mason jar of buttons sold for $5.50 plus $9.38 shipping; only vintage jars/buttons seem to sell well)
- Kool Aid and Capri Sun pouches (141 Kool Aid pouches sold for $26.51 plus $6.80 shipping; these are apparently used to make bags)

Oh my goodness...who knew? We go through at least 4 boxes of Capri Suns a week in the summertime. I guess I'll have to start saving them up and listing them!!! And baby D will be starting solids soon. You've just given me some great ideas for adding to our vacation fund. Thanks!

... Holy cow.
Yeah! I am going to have to start saving egg cartons! that's too funny but you know someone's trash and someone else's treasure...
Great tip!
wow! That's amazing. I've seen those Capri Sun bags on etsy.com though, and they're kind of cute. Not my style though.
